No. Bad.
This team is a lot better with Nylander in the lineup.
And there aren't many teams looking to give up the kind of young defenceman we would want in exchange.
Bring Willy back, it makes all the lines better.

Against the Canadiens sure, but against a decent team, it's not going to cut it.
The leafs are soo predictable with their zone exits, and other teams have figured them out. Take away the pass to the other blueline, and put pressure on the D, and you're going to cause a turnover. The forwards need to come back low to give the defence options of who to pass too.
